the united states will do its share, but the rest of the world must do its best also. other nations must not forget about haiti once the attention on the crisis has subsided and leave the u.s., as has been often the case, to bear most of the responsibility for the recovery of haiti. i would like an additional minute. mr. herger: i yield an additional minute. ms. ros-lehtinen: thank you. madam speaker, we have all been deeply moved by the outpouring of support that we have seen from communities across the united states. unsurprisingly the haitian american community has shown invaluable leadership in the aftermath of last week's tragic earthquake. now more than ever the u.s. must focus our efforts on engaging these communities to make sure that they are involved in the rebuilding of their native homeland. the haitian diaspora is a valuable resource that must be tapped to ensure that stability, freedom, success, and prosperity that the haitian people deserve finally come to true. i would like to thank chairman rangel and ranking member camp for introducing this important
